Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Put 18 balls in one bucket for shots above your feet, and 18 balls in another bucket for shots below your feet.

On the practice green, set up 3 target zones in a row, about 10 to 15 feet from the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 3 groups of 12 balls.

For the first 12 balls, hit from above feet and aim for Target Zone

For the next 12 balls, hit from below feet and aim for Target Zone

For the last 12 balls, switch between above and below feet every 2 balls and aim for Target Zone

Always keep the ball on the correct slope as needed, only change which target zone you aim at as above.

Count each ball that lands and stays in the correct target zone as a success.

When done, count how many successes out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Use markers to show the edges of each target area.
